From a Democratic Authority Secretary of Agricluture Redfield, in a speech before the Chamber of Commerce at Hamilton, 0., on February 24th, 1914, gave an illustlflion of the operation of the Undeiwood tariff law, which illustration is enough to condemn it. He said: ••For example, take the last three months of isl and the last three months of 1913. In the, former we Imported 112,000 C&tUe; in the latter, 341,000. “In the former we brought In 253,000 bushels of corn, In the latter, 4,450,000 bushels. * ‘•ln the former, 13,600 bushels of oats; In the latter, 13,280,000 bushels. ■•ln the same period of l9ia.-865.000 pounds of fresh meat; In 1913, 33,500,000 pound*.” How will the farmer fare when this spotted prosperity—“spotted and stained”—is over by reason of the closing of hostilities abroad ? Isn’t it the guidance of “safety first” to build a reasonable protective tariff law before the protective wall of the European war totters and falls. Let us guarantee a permanent prosperity through our own upbuilding policy o i the Protective Tariff, rather than only as a transient prosperity resulting from war conditions abroad and sure.to end with the declaration of peace. - (

Rensselaer high school will play St. Joseph’s college at St. Joe college next Saturday afternoon in a practice game. This game will not count in the records as St. Joe is not a member of the high school association. Harry Parker is leading the .Collegians this year and will be pitted against one of his former pupils, Floyd Meyers, in this game, and the outcome of the battle will be watched with interest. The collegians are heavier than the locals and this should be the hardest game on the high school scedule. Rensselaer will play Hammond at Hammond a week from Saturday instead of this coming Saturday as was incorrectly .stated in Monday's Republican. The Rensselaer Bantams, will play the St. Joe Bantams on Saturday, also at St. Joe. Hammond high school defeated East Chicago at Hammond Saturday by a score of 19 to 7. This was the higgest upset of the season, as the Twin City aggregation was looked upon as an easy victor over the purple and white. Since Rensselaer only defeated East Chicago 7 to 6, a much harder game with Hammond than was first thought is oloked for. Hammond has been defeated th : s year but at that time had five regular men out of the game with injuries. A card received from Morocco high school this morning to The Republican states that the Morocco team was not defeated by either Englewood or Logansport. This is true. A typographical error on out part stated ■that Morocco was defeated by both of , these teams. Morocco has not played Logansport and was only tied by Englewood- However, Englewood was defeated by Ekst Chicago and Rensselaer defeated East Chicago, which gives the locals the edge in

Uncel Stewart C. Hammond Readied 89th Milestone today.

Uncle Stewart C. Hampiond, father of Joseph P. Hammond, county auditor, reached his 89th milestone today, Oct. 24th. Relatives are celebrating the occasion at the home of Clint Brown in Barkley township with a birthday dinner. Mr. Hammond is probably the oldest resident of Jasper county with the poss'ble exception of Uncle James T. Randle. Mr. Hammond has been a resident of Marion township since 1837, a period of 79 years. He came from Monticello to Rensselaer when but ten years old, and since that time has been one of Jasper county’s best and most substantial citizens. The Republican wishes to join in congratulating Mr. Hammond on his 89th birthday and also that he may live to have many more birthday parties in his honor.

this matter. Morocco is clamoring for a game with Rensselaer and say that they are state champions, by virtue of their victory over Gary 6 to 0, and are recognized as such. It is probable that a contract will be signed -with Morocco which will bring that team here for a game on Thanksgiving day. The Walbash A.

Tax Paying Days of Grace Are Growing Short.

One week from next Monday is the last day permitted by law for the payment of the fall installment of taxes. After that date, all .taxes unpaid are subject to the delinquent penalty and the treasurer has no other alternative except to tack on the ten per cent. A considerable part of the taxes have been paid, but there is never a year when there is not a big rush during the last few days, and particularly on the last day. There is considerable time left and the next few.„days should be utilized by all who do not want to stand in line when rush comes. •

The Farmer Demands a Tariff and Gets a Tax , The National Grange 1 at its 42nd session said: Whatever the policy of the Government may be, the farmers of the United States demand that, as far as possible, such measures of direct benefit therefrom as is given to manufacturers or any other industries of the country shall also be accorded to agriculture.” So it was under Republican Tariff Laws.

The Underwood Tariff and the Farmer During the lfCfet three months of 1912 under PROTECTIVE TARIFF we imported 112,000 head of cattle, 253.» 000 bushels of corn, 13,600 bushels of oats, 865,000 pounds of fresh meats, and 41,000 bushels of potatoes. During the same period of 1913, under FREE TRADE, we brought in 341,000 head ,of cattle, 4,450,000 bushels of corn, 13,320,000 bushels of oats, 35,500,000 pounds, of freshi meat, and 2.800,000 bushels of potatoes. The price to the consumer was hot reduced one cent, but the National Treasurer lost $7,943,000 and the American farmer lost almost three times that amount.
